The problem related to what kind of distribution you envision for your program?.
If it's a program distributed separately from the Android system image (e.g. through Market, or your own website), then you can do whatever you want as long as you make the sources available under the GPL too. If you want the program to be part of the Android system image, chances that it will be accepted by the Android team as part of the standard platform are extremely small (MIT / BSD / Apache licenses are strongly preferred).
